Guests say
Sycamore Farmhouse receives glowing praise for its spacious, well-equipped interiors, comfortable beds, and excellent amenities such as the hot tub, sauna, and games room. Guests consistently highlight the warm hospitality of the hosts and the thoughtful touches throughout the property. The farmhouse is ideal for families and groups, with plenty to do both indoors and out, and is conveniently located for exploring the local area. Minor issues such as occasional flies, heating or appliance hiccups, and the presence of the hosts’ dogs are mentioned, but these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience.
Reviews frequently mention the property being spotlessly clean, with high standards maintained throughout the house, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Only one or two minor comments about the log burner and pool table maintenance were noted, but these did not affect overall impressions.
Guests appreciate the farmhouse’s convenient location near the A14, making it easy to explore Suffolk attractions. The rural setting is peaceful and ideal for relaxation, though a few guests noted the presence of farm-related flies.
Comfort is a standout feature, with numerous mentions of exceptionally comfortable beds, spacious living areas, and a homely atmosphere. The property easily accommodates large groups and families, with plenty of space for everyone.
The farmhouse is praised for its extensive facilities, including a hot tub, sauna, games room, well-equipped kitchen, and multiple bathrooms. Occasional issues with the dishwasher, heating, or log burner were promptly addressed by the hosts and did not significantly impact guests’ enjoyment.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts (wine, cake, fruit loaf, milk), fresh flowers, and a well-stocked kitchen. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

This was the second time we stayed, a group of friends, and we always have so much fun. The house has everything we need, still giving everyone their own space if they need it. Lots of space, lots to do, and VERY clean. The owners are brilliant too. Highly recommend!!

Sycamore farm is by far the loveliest house we have had the pleasure of staying in. We were greeted by the hosts & they went through the house showing us how to use the many facilities on site. The fresh flowers & card were a thoughtful gesture & the selection of drinks was better than some cafés! The house itself is perfect, you only need to pack a bag of clothes & get a food shop delivered. The beds are comfy the rooms all had plenty of space & the en suite bathrooms were all very clean & decorated to a high standard. Our family of 5 & a dog with kids age ranges of 8-18yrs always had something to do. The hot tub & sauna were a perfect end to the day.

This was our second visit to Sycamore farm as a group of female friends.Everything remained the same from the previous year except with the addition of more bath mats as we requested the previous year. The bottle of local wine was also a welcom addition this year.Unfortunately we were pre warned that a part on the boiler had broken and were awaiting a part so we didn't have any heating. Extra logs were supplied for the open fire in the living room and electric heaters supplied, although there not enough for all of the bedrooms which is where they were needed the most.The hosts were welcoming and accomadating and we hope to be back in the future.
